Efferent duct ligation was used to assess seminiferous tubule fluid (TF) production and studies of the kinetics of TF production following this procedure were performed on 25-day-old rats. The rate of TF production was linear for 48 h, thereafter reached a plateau until 72 h and began decreasing at 96 h post-ligation. Using a 16-h ligation period, the onset of TF production was investigated in groups of immature rats from 15 days of age. TF secretion was not detected prior to 15 days but rose rapidly after Day 20 coincident with the prepubertal rise in serum FSH. The acute effect of hormone on TF production following unilateral efferent duct ligation (EDL) was evaluated in 25-day-old rats in which interstitial fluid production (IF) was also assessed in the unligated testis by the method of Sharpe (1977). Single subcutaneous injections of the following hormones were given to groups of rats at the time of EDL: a) NIH follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) S13 (20 micrograms/rat); b) NIH luteinizing hormone (LH) S22 (200 micrograms/rat); c) testosterone propionate (2 mg/rat); d) human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) (10 IU/rat); or e) NIH prolactin (Prl) 14 (200 micrograms/rat). A significant rise in TF production occurred following FSH treatment but no effect was noted in any of the other groups. In contrast, a marked stimulation of IF production occurred in rats treated with LH or hCG.
